Nalgene Insulated Water Bottle Sleeve

Does the job! Kept my Nalgene from freezing for about 10 hours in around -10 degrees F.
Takes a little more space, but worth the space if your water doesn't freeze.
Works well. Full review

Aquaclip

The AquaClip is a clever gadget that I recommend for those using Platypus-style water bottles. While the Ultralightest may cringe at the added 11 grams, this hiker is please to have my water bottle accessible, without having to contort myself to reach the water bottle in my pack’s side pockets. Preface: Five months ago, Brentbrook posted his review on the Aquaclip. That review focused on use with a disposable water bottle. I am not a fan of disposable bottles. So I asked in the comments section… Full review

Guyot Designs SplashGuard

Excellent design and material allows this splash guard to fit a wide variety of wide mouth bottle sizes and brands. I have used a 32oz. widemouth Nalgene bottle for several years with a Nalgene brand splash guard in its top. I recently bought a 48oz. wide mouth Nalgene and discovered that my splash guard did not fit the 48oz. so I went on the hunt for a splash guard that would fit. When I came across the splash guard by Guyot Designs, I was very happy. This Splash Guard not only fits the 48oz. Full review

Aquaclip

The Aquaclip is a lightweight, flexible add-on to standard bottles that—when snapped into place—provides a way to hang the bottle to something else. Great for anyone who has been frustrated by the need to hand carry a bottle. The Aquaclip is a simple device made of recyclable plastic (polycarbonate) that simply snaps onto the neck of a water bottle to provide the bottle with a means of attachment to other things. A slight twist while the Aquaclip is pressed against the neck of a bottle secures… Full review

CamelBak Fresh Reservoir Filter

Very simple, very light item, however very fragile! Handle with care. After upgrading my CamelBak with the CamelBak Fresh Reservoir Replacement Filter I found it great to use on the trail. I was able to fill my bladder from almost any watering hole and the filter did a great job at removing dirt and odour, so I'd recommend it for that. Only gripe I'd say is that it can be very fragile. Now this was after use, so maybe the water makes it fragile, I'm not sure, but I'd suggest whenever you handle… Full review

humangear capCAP

A nice replacement top for large mouth bottles. Provides a smaller drinking area which helps keep the fluid off your body when the ice shifts or you turn up the bottle too fast. I've used Nalgene bottles for close to 20 years and periodically have to replace the tops due to dishwasher heater element mishaps or because the strap eventually wears out. I needed to replace a top recently and I saw this humangear top at one of our Army/Navy Surplus stores and decided to try it. I have been really pleased… Full review

MSR SweetWater Prefilter

Works fine for a while, but the manual and product support from MRS is lacking because they don't bother to tell you how to identify the difference between a clogged prefilter and a clogged ceramic filter. I, and I'm sure many others, have needlessly bought replacement ceramic filters when it was the prefilter that was clogged. MSR was good to send me a replacement, but what they have not told me is what solution(s) to best clean it with. When you try to pump water and there is an obvious blockage… Full review

Backcountry Access Nalgene Compatible System

Convert your Nalgene bottle to a hydration system. Much more durable than a conventional hydration pack. This hose kit converts your Nalgene bottle into a hydration system. Simple and effective. Comes with a bit valve and insulated hose. I have used this system for backpacking and mountaineering. For winter trips, I cut a small slot in the top of an Outdoor Research Bottle Parka to keep the bottle from freezing. In cold weather you should blow any water back through the hose to keep it from freezing. Full review

CamelBak Flow Meter

Hydration reservoirs and bite valves make it easier for hikers and athletes to stay hydrated during exercise. But one of the biggest complaints that people have about them is that you can’t see how much water you have left in your backpack without taking it off. This compromises the purpose and convenience of carrying a hydration system because people don’t drink enough when they’re afraid of running out. To address this problem, CamelBak has introduced a clever new device called a Flow Meter… Full review
